Pervert drugs woman's drink

Jul 16 2004

A PERVERT who spiked a woman's glass of liqueur has been jailed for two years.

The 28-year-old victim from Kennington thought Michael Bennett, 41, was being friendly when he bought her a mini-bottle.

But the twisted pervert sprinkled the drug into the liquid and waited for the woman to pass out.

But in the early hours of October 28, 2002, she woke to find Bennett kneeling by her bed and groping her under her pyjamas. She confronted him and he apologised, claiming to be drunk.

The woman told Inner London Crown Court: "He was kneeling down and touching me between my legs, his hand was moving."

After throwing him out of the house, the woman then went to her GP where she tested positive for temazepam.

She called police who tested two glasses and two empty bottles of the liqueur.

All four tested positive for the drug. Bennett was arrested on January 8 this year during a routine traffic stop in Southwark.

A jury of six men and six women took three hours to convict Bennett on Wednesday.

Bennett was found guilty of indecent assault and administering a drug with intent to commit an indictable offence.

He was cleared of administering a drug with intent to stupefy in order to obtain sexual intercourse.

Bennett, from Boston Parade, Boston Manor, Hanwell, west London, has also been ordered to register as a sex offender.
